What You Will Do
The Shinsekai district is unique — there is nothing really like it anywhere else in Japan. The neighborhood dates back to the early 1900s and grew in popularity through the post-war “Showa” era until the 1960s. An exploration in this colorful neighborhood really is very “Local-Osaka.” It’s always so much fun, at any time of day!
Although people visit from across Japan and around the world, this area is still very much a locals’ spot- with many shops, restaurants, and gaming parlors catering to the everyday laborers who live nearby. This retro district is full of inexpensive local dining and entertainment options. Take a stroll with our local expert and we will show you the hidden gems and explain the colorful history of Shinsekai through the years. You will get to try different local dishes at 4 different shops. Each item has a long history in the Osaka area.
